FYI ... BoardBuzz

  • 05/01/04

The National School Boards Association (NSBA) has created a new Weblog that aims to answer critics of public education, as well as provides education news and analysis. The BoardBuzz daily Weblog (www.nsba.org/boardbuzz) is an online source for what's happening in public education - from Congress to individual states, down to the district and individual school levels. The blog is written by a team of NSBA advocacy, policy and communications professionals who are plugged into the association's nationwide network of supporters for public education and school board leadership.
